About Zika Virus Test | Zika Virus Testing in Oxnard
Zika virus testing helps identify current or recent infection.
Zika virus is primarily spread through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It can also be transmitted from a pregnant person to the fetus, through sexual contact, and, in rare cases, through blood transfusion. Many people infected with Zika have no symptoms or only mild ones, which can include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis.
Laboratory testing for Zika usually involves molecular tests, such as reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which detect viral genetic material in blood or urine during the early phase of infection. Serologic tests detect antibodies produced in response to the virus and are often used later in the course of illness. The choice of test depends on how much time has passed since exposure and on the individual's circumstances.
Because Zika infection during pregnancy can cause serious birth defects, testing may be recommended for pregnant people with possible exposure or symptoms. Test results are interpreted alongside clinical history and exposure risk. A negative result does not always rule out infection, and a positive result may require confirmatory testing.
